I woudn't attribute that to Linus...

If you mean the original Eugene's branch, it's xsmp.

With xfce, you can use the branch, or the tracker patch which is based
on it. But be sure to save your files, or bad things will happen...

Best of all, apply the patch, edit sm.c, and remove or comment out the
SmcInteractRequest() call in sm_save_yourself_callback(). No file
save prompts, but each Geany instance will be restarted with the set
of preferences / interface options / open files it had on logout.

Perhaps I should try to check SmcVendor() and skip interaction if xfce.

Seems like they coudn't even implement that correctly and dropped it...
